Overview

Tsukushi hails from the Kanagawa Prefecture, attending Tachibana Gakuen High School before graduating from Tokyo Design Academy in illustration. He worked at Konami from 2000 to 2010 before becoming a freelance illustrator. During his time at Konami, he primarily worked in animation and designing the interface of titles such as Elebits, and the character design for the Nintendo DS game Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero and the anime Otogi-Jūshi Akazukin.[2][3]

After leaving Konami, Tsukushi began drawing manga, debuting in 2011 in the dōjinshi Star Strings Yori (スターストリングスより).[2] In 2012, Takeshobo began serializing his manga Made in Abyss (メイドインアビス) on their Web Comic Gamma website.[4] It would later receive an anime adaptation in 2017.[5][6]

His work is characterized by detailed descriptions and narrative drawings. He cites Norman Rockwell as a person he admires.[7]
